What Is Homecare?
Caregivers and Aides play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for those who are not chronically ill, yet require some type of supervision and assistance. The 2000 Census reports that the current year value of companion services is estimated at $6.4 billion and is expected to increase up past $8 billion as the Baby Boomer generation continues to age. Here are some compelling statistics:
- Seniors prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home; it is called "Aging in Place".
- In 2010 the U.S. population of those aged 65 or older is 35 million strong. By 2030 that number will be 70 million.
- A vast majority of adult children live several hundred miles away from their parents, which makes providing assistance extremely difficult.
- January 5, 2010 - The US Bureau of Labor named the Senior Care Industry as having three out of the top ten job growth markets through to 2020.
- Entrepreneur Magazine boasted that "Senior care was the hottest franchise idea for the year 2004". They also explained that "The senior home care industry is only in its first inning, and dramatic explosive growth is still to come in the decade ahead".
How Do I Get Into The Home Care Field?
There are several ways to get into the Eldercare/ Homecare business; start your own, buy an agency, or pay a lot of money to a franchise organization. Buying a franchise usually means a territory purchase price of $25K-$150K and then 2.5%-7% of your gross sales for as long as you own the franchise.

Benefits Of Starting Your Own Homecare Agency
No territory restrictions. Franchisors require each franchisee to purchase a territory. Often territories are already ‘sold out’ in the most lucrative areas and if you want to expand your territory down the road you will be required to pay another $25K - $150K to purchase another territory.
Starting your own company allows you the freedom to choose the boundaries of your territory which you can enlarge or decrease at anytime. You are able to open additional offices in new area’s and even move into other states whenever you are ready.
No royalty fees. After five years of doing business and achieving an increase of $500,000 per year in Gross Sales you will have paid an average total of $415,000 to your franchise corporate office (5% of gross sales per year plus the initial franchise purchase fee of $40,000). That is money you could be putting in your pocket by choosing to start your own agency using StartupHomeCare. All in all - you get all the same benefits of a franchise but you save a lot of money and have much more freedom with the StartupHomeCare option.
